Just thought I'd ask so when I have the car tuned- ( stage 1), I thought it may be worth getting the pump upgraded at the same time. I have heard that the pump can be prone to failure. Only problem is the coin is running out fast. Need to prioritise.

Ugh dont talk in stages.. its really silly

Good idea to uograde to a bigger walbro especially if youre consider e85

I thought it prudent to identify the stage. That way you know what sort of power level I am talking about. Also the package I am looking at is listed a stage 1. Not considering E85.

Yes oil pump-original question.

If your not touching e85, then leave the pump gears. Stock turbo won't push it that far.

Pump gears should be fine unless you try to hurt it.

Nah no need

Just talk about what you want from the car is a better way. Everyones stage 1 is different, and how far is stage 2, or 3?

Its a slippery slope to misunderstanding

And I think tuners doing it as well sort of erks me a little.

Ah I thought you were talking fuel pump

My apologies.

Im on stock oil pump at 440rwkw but zf though

Happy modding ????

Thanks - I know modding is always a risk- just want to try to minimise it a little. The package I'm am considering:

1000 ID injectors

Cooler thermostat

K&N panel filter

Custom tune

Possibly intercooler and Cat- got to see how far the dollar stretches.

Whos doing the tuning?

To be honest I wouldnt bother with a cooler thermostat, Itll just make your car run less efficiently especially on cruise, And if its hot anyway the thermostat will open up anyway and not make a difference to temps... 
IC is a good idea especially in the WA summer heat the stock core gets heat soaked very quickly. If you went over to e85 that'd be a different ball game
